Emperor Wind Piercing Thrust

"How is this possible? How could you possess such a powerful Earth Rank Dou Skill as well?"

Gu Ming was so astonished he nearly suffocated. If he possessed such a powerful Dou Skill because his family had connections, then why did his opponent possess one just as powerful?

Although Yun Shenwei was the Senior Brother among the Misty Cloud Sect's younger generation, that was all he was. He had not yet reached the point where the Misty Cloud Sect's higher-ups would provide him with an Earth Rank Dou Skill.

"Sorry, but I once said that I have a master. He's an elderly man who travels the wilderness, and he likes taking genius youths like me as disciples. Can't help it—I'm naturally talented, so my master treats me well. It's perfectly normal for me to have such a powerful skill."

Yun Shenwei casually made up an excuse. In truth, this was the only thing he could say. Otherwise, if he casually caused such a huge commotion, people would certainly investigate his background. He might end up capsizing in a ditch. In this world, if one had no backing, it was very easy to become someone else's target.

"That mysterious expert again?"

Pill King Gu He was filled with questions, wondering just who this so-called reclusive expert truly was.

The elders of the other families were equally baffled. Under normal circumstances, anyone capable within the Jia Ma Empire would be renowned, practically known to everyone.

"Could it be the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who vanished years ago?"

After pondering for a long time, Pill King Gu He finally arrived at this conclusion.

He remembered that many years ago, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong had swept through the Jia Ma Empire and ranked among the top ten experts. However, after reportedly fighting the Snake-People Tribe Queen Medusa, he had disappeared without a trace.

Although Hai Bodong's family had suppressed the matter, some other families had still heard the news.

Over the years, no more powerful experts had emerged within the Jia Ma Empire. If this young man before them possessed such a powerful Earth Rank Dou Skill, then it was highly likely that Ice Emperor Hai Bodong had given it to him.

Pill King Gu He's relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect was fairly good. He could tell whether or not this was a Dou Skill from within the Misty Cloud Sect.

"Fine. You used an Earth Rank Dou Skill today, and so will I. Let us settle victory or defeat. Between us, only one person is destined to fight until the end."

Gu Ming had been somewhat flustered at first, but having experienced many battles, he quickly calmed down.

I wonder whether this skill I temporarily exchanged for at the All Heavens Mall will actually work. I hope I can bluff this guy.

Yun Shenwei appeared calm and unruffled on the surface, but inwardly, he was panicking terribly.

Exchanging for a powerful Earth Rank Dou Skill required an enormous amount of Resentment Value, yet he did not have enough. Therefore, it was impossible for him to exchange for a permanent Earth Rank Dou Skill.

However, the mall also offered temporary versions. They were many times cheaper, but could only be used for seven days or one month.

Left with no other choice just now, Yun Shenwei had exchanged for a temporary version. By all reason, he still had serious concerns in his heart.

In his view, permanent Earth Rank Dou Skills should be the strongest. As for these time-limited ones, he was not sure whether they could unleash their full power.

At this point, he could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive. If he did not bring out a skill of the corresponding level, he would eventually lose today's battle. Moreover, these people clearly did not want him to use the power of the Fighting God Flame.

Yun Shenwei himself did not particularly want to use the Fighting God Flame either. The main reason was that there were too many people watching. The wager between him and Pill King Gu He had clear terms agreed upon by both sides, but the people from the other families were different. Once they saw it, they might secretly covet it, which would undoubtedly create great danger for him. Defeating their family's juniors here was nothing much, since this was a normal competition. Where there was competition, there would be victory or defeat, winners and losers.

However, if Yun Shenwei rashly used the Fighting God Flame on him, combined with his earlier arrogant attitude, it would naturally provoke the jealousy of others.

"Let's decide victory or defeat in one move."

At this moment, Gu Ming condensed the Dou Skill around his body to its utmost limit. His arms had turned blood-red, clearly showing that this was his limit. For the sake of killing his opponent in a single blow, he had given it his all.

"There's no other way. I can only give it a try."

Yun Shenwei knew there was no way back. Since he had started putting on an act, he had to see it through even if he had to crawl.

"Emperor Wind Piercing Thrust!"

Yun Shenwei swung his palm, and green wings appeared at his side. In an instant, even the flow of air seemed to accelerate. Within moments, his body soared into the sky, accomplishing something ordinary Dou Masters could never do.

"He actually flew! Heavens, isn't that something only Dou Wang-level experts can do?"

Several family elders could not help exclaiming at the sight. After all, by common sense, cultivators below the Dou Wang realm could not remain suspended in the air. "Whether you can fly today or not, and whatever convenience your skill gives you, I will defeat you here. Not only for myself, nor for my uncle, but for my family."

As Gu Ming realized his enemy had become extremely troublesome, the pressure on him increased sharply. At that moment, he clenched his teeth and spat out a mouthful of blood. The attack he had condensed changed once again.

A blood-red crocodile condensed before him. Its enormous phantom looked as though some ancient creature had awakened, and its pressure was comparable even to that of some true kings of magical beasts.

"So this is the pressure of an Earth Rank Dou Skill? It truly is powerful. But my skill isn't weak either!"

Yun Shenwei could not help praising the blood-red crocodile his opponent had condensed. Naturally, he still had great confidence in his own attack, so he too went all out.

Very quickly, both sides pushed their attacks to the absolute limit. Then, under the gazes of countless people, one on the ground and one in the sky, they collided like comets.

At that moment, the green shockwave and the blood-red shockwave were evenly matched. Both men gritted their teeth, neither willing to yield even a single step.

"To produce such a powerful impact at such a young age, they truly are the outstanding talents of the younger generation."

Everyone present sighed in admiration, yet they all focused their attention, hoping to see who would claim the final victory.
